Hello fellow hockey fans.
It's another season of hockey in both the National and American Hockey Leagues.
Of course, we will also talk shop on the 2019 IIHF World Championship tournament in Slovakia.
From the puck drops in both the NHL and AHL season openers to the teams raising both the Stanley and Calder Cups, you can talk hockey here.

There's a topic for the World Cup. I decided to start a topic for clubs. You can post about clubs from any country in any competition (domestic or a champions league), players changing clubs, and when matchups are made for a tournament. Every club in the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League and its qualifying rounds is known except for the Polish champion, who will be decided on Sunday. The Group Stage will have 32 clubs. 10 of them come from qualifying rounds, and the 22 known clubs are:

If you're a huge mixed martial arts fan in the UFC, Pride FC, or other MMA competitions, you can discuss MMA here in this thread.
For UFC fans, you can catch UFC action and shows on Spike TV. For Pride FC fans, you can watch PRIDE on your cable box only on Fox Sports Net, or simply FSN.
I'm a huge fan of both UFC and PRIDE. :2thumbs: :)

There are 8 American teams and 8 teams from other countries. The Mid-Atlantic representative is from Staten Island. On Thursday they defeated a team from Iowa 5-2. They just finished a 2-1 win over a team from Texas. Next they will face the winner of a game between a team from Michigan and a team from Hawaii. If they win that game, they advance to the U.S. Championship. If they lose that game, they play the winner of the losers bracket and the winner of that goes to the U.S. Championship....

Less than a year after World Cup 2014, qualifying for World Cup 2018 begins for some countries in Asia (AFC) and North and Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF) in March. On Thursday January 15, CONCACAF did the draw for the first two rounds of qualifying and here are the results:

Will the Golden State Warriors successfully repeat as NBA World champions? The Dubs are gunning for their third title in the last four years.
Will LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers continue to be the team to beat in the East?

Hofstra University, where I went, is ranked Number 25 in Softball and is the top team in the northeast. The RPI is released weekly on Mondays, and last week the SEC and Pac-12 had 15 of the top 17 teams. Schools in the northeast don't do well. The top RPI in the Big East is DePaul in 75th, and the top RPI by a Big East team on the east coast is St. John's in 162nd. Hofstra is 26th in the RPI, and the next best RPI by a team in New York is Fordham in 107th.
Connecticut is the top...

Hate to be a wet noodle but I have very low hopes for this season.
Let's see, they didn't buy out Girardi, didn't trade Glass, Staal, Nash, or anyone at the draft, didn't sign any free agents, didn't have a 1st or 2nd round pick in the draft, and everyone is a year older.
So, lets go Rangers?
